Judging by your picture and your poor grammar, it looks like George Bush had the balls to do what your former educators didn't.

Bush didn't leave you behind, you left yourself behind. Stop drinking, taking advantage of your parents, and blaming the government for all your plight.

Not the governments job to pay for your education beyond high school...

Blame the gov't for your failures. Seems a lot of people who are failing at life are blaming the gov't. They aren't the ones making your decisions in life. You have control over your life. Don't blame the gov't for your mistakes.

Dude, you can't even spell. Epic fail.
Go back to high school. You missed some classes.

Leave the guy alone. I agree with him and see his point. If I was foreign and had some kids I would get money and they would pay for school. They only mistake Garrett and I made were being born American and falling into that "Grey area" that determines individual levels of need. All those negative comments to the poor guy probably came from people that never had to work and pay their way through college. I also think Garretts point is that while us tax payers struggle to improve ourselves through education the next person to come to the U.S. on a floating door gets all the finacial aid they could want. Yes Dubya did leave some of us behind. Hang in Garrett and ignore the critics.

Maybe you could spend some of it on either a dictionary or spell check for your computer.
